Monday Blues

Ugh. Monday.

I vote that we have four day weeks, and 3 day weekends. Just a thought.

This weekend was way too short. On Friday, my back pain flared up. Bad. I didn't feel like cooking and neither did my husband so we had dinner out. By 7 pm my back was in a lot of pain. It was not pleasant and I spent the rest of the evening in bed. My mom gave me a bit of a rub down, in hopes that it might help until I was able to go see a chiropractor. Thankfully by Saturday morning, my pain was limited to just one spot on my lower back instead of my entire back. I even tested it out by jumping on the treadmill for a few minutes and I'm happy to report that my back didn't give out. :)

That day we didn't do much. It was pretty hot during the day so we mainly stayed indoors. I’ve been really tired lately, and combined with my back problems I was in no mood to be going out and doing much of anything. I popped Tylenol like candy, and Emery stayed entertained with Netflix and her toys. Yea, I felt pretty crappy for letting the TV babysit my daughter. Judge away. My parents “came over” at a certain point and took her into town before cabin fever set in. I took this opportunity to take a nap and it was freakin’ awesome! Saturday night, we had dinner with my mother-in-law and then when we got back home I got to spend some time with some friends. We had ourselves a few beers, sat on the tailgate, and just talked. We could have stayed out there all night but we all had things to do on Sunday. So, we turned in around midnight. I'm such a rebel, huh? 

Sunday, we did some cleaning, laundry, took naps, and then finally made it into town to visit with my mother-in-law again. Once we got home, we got some good news about the job my husband has been waiting to hear back from. Turns out that the department gave my dad the “go ahead” to get a resume from my husband! The manager told my dad that he would hire my husband but that it could take up to 3 weeks before he would be able to start just because they still have to go through all the same channels as they would with anyone else. So we’re looking at a start date towards the end of June beginning of July. This is such awesome news! To say that I’m excited would be a huge understatement. This job has a great starting pay, steady raises, and some awesome benefits. These are all things that we could use right now. If things go as I would like them to, we could be completely out from under our debt by the end of this year. Yea, the job is that good. And maybe by the beginning of next year we could finally rent a place of our own. So here’s hoping we keep getting good news!

Hope everyone else had a lovely weekend!
